American Rescue Dog Show 2022 Preview
The American Rescue Dog Show is the “preeminent dog competition featuring rescued companions as they strut their fluff, competing for a slew of ‘best in’ titles while stealing America’s hearts,” according to the ABC press release.
It continues:
These prized pups may be cute, but the competition is fierce. In the two-hour special, rescued dogs from all across the country will compete in seven categories including Best In Underbite, Best In Snoring, Best In Belly Rubs and more. A $10,000 donation to a local animal welfare organization will be made in honor of the winning dog in each category, and each category winner will have the chance to be named the Best In Rescue with an additional $100,000 donation being made in their honor.
This comedic and heartfelt take on the world of competitive dog shows is a celebration of rescued dogs and the joy they bring to our lives. Dynamic duo Rob Riggle and Joe Tessitore host America’s cutest competition special with ESPN’s Monica McNutt serving as sideline correspondent. Dog-loving celebrity guest judges Leslie Jordan, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Paula Abdul will also make special appearances.
In the preview, the voice over promises, “The American Rescue Dog Show brings a canine competition like you’ve never seen before. A celebratory panel of judges will decide who is best in rescue.”
“We got senior dogs, special needs and even puppies!” exclaims host Rob Riggle.
“During these challenging times, animals have never had such an important impact on our wellbeing,” said American Rescue Dog Show creator and EP Michael Levitt in a statement. “Now more than ever, it’s time to give rescue dogs their moment in the spotlight. The cuteness overload on this show is going to be off the charts and I can’t wait to show America just how special rescue dogs are and the profound ways they enhance our lives when we make them part of our family.”
Previously, the American Rescue Dog Show took place in 2020 on the Hallmark Channel. The winner was a surrendered pup named Sugar. Her bio written by her owner reads, “Sugar is very respectful and doesn’t like to intrude on your space on the couch or bed and she takes treats from your hand very gracefully.”
The 2022 American Rescue Dog Show airs Wednesday, May 25 at 9 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on ABC.
